Our other group of local artists called the Breakfast Club is doing this scene also ,has to beat the winter blues from one of my photos , if the storm is past I will meet them in the morning and we will critique our paintings.

Time for Green tea

This past week has been a challenge for me with a trip to Portland, the kitchen project, snow storm, family and more . I think this coming week will be the same , the cabinets are up , now I am painting the walls , I have changed the color twice already I can't make up my mind , the color looks great on the small swatch but on the walls looks terrible , as an Artist you would think I knew better. I will a guest speaker and do a demonstration for the Chelmsford Art society on Tuesday , I think I will talk about daily painting!

The Pastel painters of Maine and New Hampshire were invited to sketch the Ballerina's in practice, it was a great honor and privilege to see the very talented young Ballerina's pose for us , I was able to do a few quick sketches and hope to use for future paintings.

Coming home from school
I am lucky I finely could get to my computer, the kitchen cabinets arrived today and took over the gallery , my paintings were burried , it's a good thing I painted this scene last week . I had stoped to take pictures of some ducks by the sea shore coming back from Plum Island when this bus was bringing the children home from school , camera on hand , it was perfect ! the sun was going down ,the shaddows on the road were very strong , a painting was to be made .

Plum Island, sea weeds stacks Last week I had taking a quick trip to Plum Island for a drive , it's about an hour from my house , a great way to get to the ocean and visit Newberryport ,MA in the same time . A lovely town with art galleries. This painting is from my last trip there , I made it a bit more a fall day then winter, but I have been there at that time so I know what it looks like, they always have the stacks there from weeds from the march.
I am still working on the kitchen project , but coming along good , hope to be finish soon.

Yesterday's rose
This was really my valentine's rose , painted during the terrible ice storm we had yesterday , woke up this morning to 5 inches of ice so frozen ,and not able to move . Oh well, it is New England and we should be used to it , but we got spoiled the last few years with mild winters.
it made a perfect day to paint my Valentine rose.

La tourette I painted this scene the last trip I went to see my mother before she passed away ,It had been a long time since I had seen snow in France . My nephew and I walked the intire village ,This small tourette stands in the entrance of the town , and I really didn't know why ? until my nephew said it used to be an old toll station , in the old days you use to have pay a tax if you were bringing livestock into the town. When you grow up you take all the history of the past for granted. we always learn something !

Le village de StJulien
I just love the red clay roofs in France ,they are such a beautiful rich earthy color. This was the next village where my mother lived, One day I would like to go back as a tourist painter , I would spend weeks and weeks there with so many obligations to all my relatives and no time for myself. I could paint Plein air every day in this small town .It's on my list to do!

Le petit village
Remodeling is still going on , just finished the demolision , the kitchen is all apart sitting on the deck right now ready to go in a dampster, what a job! but while doing all this work ,my mind is on my next painting ,so for now I am posting some of my watercolors .
